I am looking for the stock samsung memo app. I believe I found it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10157669&postcount=1492
The problem is it won't install I unzipped it and and tried to install just the memo apk.
I also searched and came across this one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=811097 Again the apk will not install but this one had a odex I am not sure what that is.
How can I get this to work?
Your gonna have to manualy put it in system/app with root explorer. If your on stock rom you will have to have an odex file with it. The odex files are in the system/. But if your running a custom rom its probly been deodex so just push the apk.
Fear the beard...
I do have a custom rom Nero 5. I was trying to run the apk from my downloads folder. I just tried to move/copy it to system/apk and it will not move with astro file manager. Am I doing something wrong?
You know i dont use astro so i dont know. You may want to try to fix permisions in clockwork. But if if I were you I would just pay the $1.99 for root explorer, its the best app for root users. I use it all the time to install memo on nero roms. You know my girlfriend has a mt4g temp rooted and I cant install anything in there with linda file manager.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
you don't rename it.
on computer you extract it, go into system and you see the apk
it won't let you install on phone by just clicking
put on sd card
go to astro, or root manager
move the memo.apk to system/app
done.
you need to extract the folder with winrar winzip whatever then there is a folder with the apk in it. copy it over to your phone under downloads or where ever you want to put it. then install.
edit: just did all that i said and when i tried to install the apk it says "application not installed"
just did what u said, even rebooted, and still don't see it

read the post above.
you have to move the .apk to system/apps
because memo isn't a regular app.
got the same thing. used astro, place the apk in system/apps. nothing happened. rebooted, still nothing. then even tried using the app manager in astro to install it and it says "there is a problem parsing the package"
Link no longer working... could somebody upload it again please ?

You can just use Roman's Bloater if you like.

I've tried this with MIUI (1.7.22) on a SGS Captivate with no success. I have flashed many roms and installed/sideloaded many apps over the past 10 months. I know I'm doing it right, as I have 'installed' other system apps by moving the apk to /system/apps and fixing permissions and ownership. Has this worked for anyone on a MIUI ROM?
Another related question would be - is there a way to export the notes from the stock memo.apk?
Hey guys,
I'm running the Simply Honey 1.0 ROM and I love it. I am trying to replace the AOSP Mms on it with the Froyo Mms because I like that one better. I've done that before with this rom by simply extracting the apk and copying it to the system app folder with root explore. But, for some reason, it won't let me do it anymore. It says the folder is 'read only,' and won't allow me to change the rights or anything. Can anyone tell me how to fix this so that I can copy to the system app folder?

you need to be in r/w with root explorer. the tab is on the top of the screen now it says r/o. tap it then you will be able to write.
I've been making an android rom for my chacha, All Is going well apart from adding a file manager. I've tried with 3 different apps but none of them will install. In the log.txt from CWM its the first thing that gets installed but it just doesnt show up anywhere. What could I be doing wrong?
Get the file manager you like the best and pull the apk using adb or find an apk backup app on the market. Once you have the apk add it to the /system/app folder inside your rom.
How do i install apk as system apk?
I tried to paste the apk's with root explorer to /system/apps and grant permissions of "rw-r--r--" and reboot
but its still don't work..
Is there another way?
You just need to paste the .apk in the External SD card/Internal storage and Install from there. Simple. No need for Root Explorer for that.
Regards.
Alternatively, I usually just email the apk and then open it on the phone. It gives a direct install button option in the email itself, downloads and installs like any other app from the market.
I just installed Cognition S2 1.42 and it removed some of the system app like Social Hub and AccuWeather widget, so i would like to install them again.
In Cognition thread said for installing the removed apps you need to transfer them to "/system/apps".
I tried that but it didn't work, after web searching I found that I need to change the permissions to "rw-r--r--", I tried that ether and it didn't work.
So is there other way to do it?
Thanks for replying
I rooted with the stripped down ROM. But i need the stock email app in order to sync my Exchange contacts Where can i get just this apk? Thanks !!
Right. Download my ROM for example and extract Email.apk from zip file. Then copy it using RootExplorer or adb into /system/app on your phone. Change permissions to rw-r-r. Reboot.

Excuse my ignorance, but i can't seem to extract from any of the ROM's ive downloaded (can't find the link to yours if i click the ics one in your signature it just takes me to a long thread with no obvious links). I know how to use adb to get the file onto the phone, but cant figure out how to get it out of the .tar.ext4 file ?
download blazer rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746184
then use 7zip (http://www.7-zip.org/) to open the zip.
navigate to system/app and find email.apk
extract it from there (drag and drop it out of the 7zip window to your desktop)
then copy that to your phone ... either use adb to push it to system/app or use root explorer on your phone.
hope that helps
Hi, I realize that your rom says that it's just for Sprint, if I were to download it and take the contacts.apk from it, would that not work on my AT&T galaxy SIII?
I accidentally disabled it and am currently trying to find a way to get it back onto my phone. :'( *I already looked at my settings>applications>all and it's not there. [contact storage is there, but I can't find the application that I use to actually read that, after the disabling.//I raged on it for continually popping up on my advanced task manager.]

I rooted (using this method: http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s3-sch-i535-root-101633/) and ended up using the non-bloatware version and apparently the regular email app was considered bloatware for some reason because it disappeared.
So I tried following your instructions, but there was no "email.apk" in the download, so I figured you probably meant "exchange.apk." Followed the instructions, moved it to system\app, changed the permissions, and rebooted but it's still not showing. So I went back to try to install it manually, and it just tells me it wasn't installed successfully (and yes, I have "unknown sources" selected).
I am also not sure if this is the stock GSIII email app, based on the icon. Looks like the old yellow email icon to me.
